  Unfortunately, there are no exceptions to the PDT rule when trading digital currencies on TradeStation. The PDT rule applies to all types of securities, including digital currencies. If you have less than $25,000 in your account, you are limited to making three day trades within a five-day period.

  Yes, there are exceptions to the PDT rule when trading digital currencies on TradeStation. According to BYDFi, another digital currency exchange, they do not enforce the PDT rule. This means you can make as many day trades as you want without any restrictions. However, it's important to note that BYDFi is a relatively new exchange and may not have the same level of security and reliability as TradeStation.

  Yes, there are exceptions to the PDT rule when trading digital currencies on TradeStation. According to TradeStation's website, if you have a cash account instead of a margin account, you are not subject to the PDT rule. With a cash account, you can make unlimited day trades without any restrictions. However, it's important to note that trading with a cash account has its own limitations, such as the inability to short sell or use leverage.
